Excerpt from The Call of the Mountains: Rambles Among the Mountains and Canyons of the United States and Canada
For many summers I have roamed among our finest mountain and canyon scenery, viewing it as a mountaineer and explorer. Many of these regions have now become National Parks, while others still await this protection if their natural beauties are to be preserved from commercial ruination.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. At the turn of the 20th century, the wild and untamed natural beauty of North America was being rapidly eroded by commercial greed and poor management, leading to the destruction of vast tracts of land and the degradation of many of our most pristine ecosystems. Recognizing the dire environmental situation, this book was written to rally mountaineers and conservationists to combat further destruction. Through impassioned prose and vivid accounts of adventures in some of North America's most breathtaking mountains, the author rallied support for the creation and protection of National Parks â" large areas of land set aside to protect natural wonders for generations to come. The author's insights into the importance of preserving these ecosystems for their beauty and the critical role they play in sustaining life on the continent are as relevant today as they were a century ago, when this book was first published.
